[Openstack] [Cinder/Heat]: How do you define in a template an instance that boots from volume?

Hi,

I'm using stable/havana version of Openstack.

I can boot instance from the pre-existing bootable Cinder volume with nova
command:
nova boot --flavor 2 --block_device_mapping vda=<volume id>:::0 <name for
instance>

...but how can this be done with a Heat template? Or can it be done?

AWS::EC2::Instance resource doesn't seem to have a property for this.

Thanks,
-Juha
